Firestarter
You were
To me
You
Burning
me
Devouring
you
Frozen
in my memory
Our fire
No more flickers
No more licks
Engulfs
Us
No more
Shines
painfully still
Through the ice

Each year slips by
Faster and the length
Of each year
becomes months
Becomes days
I fear
By old age each year
Will become hours
become liquid memories
escaping
between fingers
To evaporate
In to oblivion
